Hi,  
  
  
  
I want to calculate the GPU load during running my application. I understand it can be calculated using PVRScope Library but I can’t find it. Can someone point me in the right direction ?

Hi,  
  
  
  
The PVRScope libraries are in _[SDK\_ROOT]/PVRScopeDeveloper/_. Our SDK’s _Examples/Advanced_ directory contains _PVRScopeExample_(a demonstration that collects and graphs GPU stats) and _PVRScopeRemote_(a demonstration of how an application can send annotations and other data to PVRTune to augment performance analysis).  
  
  
  
Thanks,  
  
Joe

I have installed the sdk for Linux. I don’t have any of the directories mentioned above. I think they must be present in the Windows sdk.

Hi Hellboy,  
  
  
  
Can I ask, did you tick the PVRScope option on the component selection screen?  
  
  
  
Thanks,  
  
Bob.
